Pros: Good value, Good quality, Looks great, smooth operation

After the failure of the 'Rapid Rise' rear derailleur on my bike, I reverted to a standard operation Derailleur. Not needing an 'all singing and dancing' unit I opted for this TX35, firmly in the budget end of derailleurs - I didn't expect too much...

This unit was better than I expected, fitted and adjusted easily and tracks across the gears better than my old, failed, unit ever did. Matched to a Shimano 7 gear Revoshift twist gearchanger, it's everything I need and a perfect set-up for general use. I think it's brilliant!

Cheap & cheerful, if a little dated

Pros: Good value, Good quality

Cons: Heavy

Used this with an Acera 9-speed & Tiagra triple on my Genesis CdF to give me the gears to climb walls.Shifts great when set up properly. Huge capacity & max tooth count massive plus for touring.Minor niggle with hex pinch nut, rather than the now standard 5mm allen bolt, meaning an extra tool is required in the pack.
